What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Feb 15, 2019 · F-0600
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Mar 19, 2019 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Feb 15, 2019 · F-0610
The facility did not respond appropriately to alleged violations, such as reports of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment. Facilities must investigate every allegation and protect residents while they do.
Why it matters: When allegations aren't investigated, harm to residents can continue unchecked.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Mar 19, 2019 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Kentucky avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 2.62 | 3.71 | 3.95 | bottom 4% in Kentucky; bottom 5% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.47 | 0.74 | 0.69 | bottom 24% in Kentucky; bottom 33% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.25 | 3.27 | 3.50 | bottom 3% in Kentucky; bottom 4% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.26 | 0.53 | 0.48 | bottom 18% in Kentucky; bottom 23% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 50.6 | 46.4 | 45.8 | bottom 32% in Kentucky; bottom 35% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 62.5 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 15% in Kentucky; bottom 19% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.06, RN 0.54, weekend 2.63. Staffing rating: 1/5.
Self-reported quality measures
Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
Quality measures rating: 2/5 · long-stay residents: 4/5 · short-stay residents: 1/5
